What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Holydiver
“The Holydiver pushes a broader low-mid voice with a smoother top-end contour and a more elastic feel under gain.”
“The low mids punch hard with that unmistakable 80s hard rock chest-thump that makes power chords feel enormous.”
On the Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell
“It’s dynamic response at stage volume with the ability to go from glassy clean to full saturation without collapsing into mush.”
“Where a lot of pickups in this range get compressed and narrow, this one stays open and articulate.”
